How many NBA players do we have on this team?

[ArtVandelay]

NBADraft.net only has Young on their list for next years draft.

Boynton isn't listed. Do you think he will get a chance?

I think Murphy and Yeguete can play at the next level.

They have Prather listed as honorable mention in his class.

[gatordd]

Young will be a 1st rounder this year... Someone will take a shot on KB, Rosario either in 2nd round or undrafted.

Murph can play himself into a late 1st early 2nd with solid play this season.

Prather needs another year, same with Will.

[REM08]

Remember that players only have to develop enough to give NBA scouts an idea of what their potential is. Unfortunately, they don't have to have come close to realizing it.

I'm not confident on Will either way. Just don't know which way to go on him. Boynton is Europe bound though. I'll gladly eat crow if he has success in the NBA. I just don't see what he brings. He's easy NBA if he's 4 inches taller or so. He'll never play point in the NBA and he lacks the kind of athleticism that you see smaller players in the league have. I know this sounds negative, but I'm not sure why it has to. He can have a great career playing basketball and make more money than any of us. I do think Murphy gets drafted.

[madgator]

Young is the only guy that will definitely be drafted. I'm not confident and wouldn't put money that anyone else will.

Recently I said to a friend of mine after a recent game that UF might have started 4 future NBA draft picks. In that game UF started Boynton, Rosario, Yeguete, Murphy and Young.

I think Young and Murphy will be drafted after this year. Boynton could also sneak into the second round and even Rosario with good NBA camps could. Rosario has more of an NBA game in some ways than Boynton. I think Yeguete or Prather could be drafted after next season.

After how many drinks?

Frazier is a future NBA player, kid is a shooter, tough rebounder, good defender already and is getting better with his handles.

[GothamGator]

I largely agree with Insti. I think Murphy will get drafted after this year, and Young will be if he goes. I think Yeguette is a possibility after his senior year if he continues to progress like he has. Boynton seems to me a guy that needs to play his way in out of Europe. Prather has the athleticism, but I wonder if he will work hard enough to get there. Rosario and Wilbekin also look like they will do well overseas.

[GatorLurker]

I don't know enough about Finney-Smith and Harris to hazard a guess, but don't forget that they are on the team.

[gatormoe1]

Rosario needs to learn how to be a better secondary player before he gets drafted. He's really good when he's the main guy but sometimes gets lost as a role player.

It's still early but I agree with this based on what we are seeing so far.

[ReggieNelson]

right now -

Young is a mid to late 1st round pick
Murphy can play himself into the 2nd round

that's it.

agreed - I think Prather has the best chance to get a shot of any of the rest of our guys due to his athleticism, but he's got a long row to hoe to get there.

[Ahab]

I think Young in the 1st and Murphy in the 2nd are both fairly solid bets. Frazier has potential down the road. That's about it for our current players. Boynton is not a natural PG. Yuegette would have to develop an outside game. Rosario isn't nearly consistent enough.

[gatorfansrule]

I think Young will be drafted higher than Murphy, but Murphy will end up being the better pro. Frazier possibly in the future. Yuegette maybe, we'll see how he develops in the next couple years. Boynton is a tweener. Rosario may be a better NBA guy than college player, but I don't think he'll get a chance. Prather could be if he developed his shooting and other small forward skills.

[akaGatorhoops]

kenny will be on a roster, even if undrafted.

Somewhere is the world or the nba?

[akaGatorhoops]

i think he will be on an nba roster.

[gatorrick1]

Kenny will get an invite to an NBA training camp but the hard thing for player's like him is he will get an offer from a European team that will pay him more money and be guaranteed vs taking the risk of making an NBA roster.

Young is an obvious one, Murphy will get a chance, the player I think may surprise people is Yeguette. He gets better every year, he could guard 2-4 in the NBA and he makes all the little plays that lead to wins. I don't know if he will be ready for the NBA after next year, but it would not suprise me at all to see him on an NBA roster someday.

Rosario has little to no shot and Prather has a long, long way to go. Like all those guy's as Gators just not NBA prospects.

Young and Murphy

Young because of his body, and Murphy because of his skill level

KB and Rosario either late 2nd, or undrafted but will get a shot to try to make a team, though oversees is a better possibility...both are small SG's for the NBA

WY could end up being similar to a UD story

Prather is the wild card, he has the most athleticism on this team, and these next 2 years will determine his future...he really has a high ceiling still

Next year we have 4 future NBA players coming in
